Hamilton Beach Fabriciq Steam Iron

I purchased this iron to replace a failing Rowenta I’ve had for at least 10 years. I selected this one because of its 1800 watts of power. I expected that would be good for providing enough heat to make ironing easy. Very similar to my Rowenta. I feel that this iron does not deliver on heat even on the cotton setting. Nor does it provide what I would consider enough steam while ironing. It is set on the highest setting. Also I have noticed that when the water no longer shows in the window there is still a substantial amount that can be emptied out after my ironing is completed. Now I will say this is a heavy iron and I prefer a stainless steel sole. It also has a very wide base when in an upright position. The cord is a good foot or 2 longer than a standard cord. All in all this is an okay iron but not one I would recommend if you are using it for sewing projects. As always with my experience shipping and packaging was well done.

Need an iron that will stay on while attaching iron-on interfacing. Have tried several brands before and none will do that. This FabricIQ iron is just what I need to be more efficient and productive in my sewing and ironing endeavors. I appreciate the heat, steam capabilities, weight, and stainless steel soleplate!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The FabricIQ™ Steam Iron is the best iron I have owned. It comes with a self clean button. It comes with individual settings for different materials. From cotton, wool, silk and synthetic. This is perfect for people learning to iron to experienced people. I love ironing my husbands clothes. The process is so smooth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This iron is exactly what I have been waiting for! I absolutely hate ironing, but surprisingly this iron made the actual process of ironing a tuxedo shirt, 2 dress shirts, a pair of men's slacks and also ironing on a patch, a complete breeze. I first filled the iron with water, which to me seemed an odd location, but actually makes sense. I pressed the power button and selected the heat setting. The fact that it flashes until it is at the correct temp is a game changer for me. It is very user friendly and has a good weight to it, not too heavy or too light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the iron to iron out my husband's clothes for a job interview. It did a great job getting it nice and wrinkle free. The buttons were a bit sensitive and any time my hand barely touched it the setting would change. I wish the buttons were not that sensitive cause that was really annoying to deal with.
